Aviation fuel scarcity hits Ghana •As foreign airlines shift patronage to Nigeria

FOREIGN airlines, especially carriers from Europe and America flying into Ghana are now rushing to Nigeria to lift aviation fuel as scarcity hits Ghana. Although the Ghanaian government is trying to offer explanation for the shortage of aviation fuel in the country, airlines now depend on supplies from Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and Nigeria. 

According to a Ghana Web report, the situation has taken a heavy toll on some domestic travellers in Ghana whose flights have been cancelled.

This is because domestic airlines have had to surcharge GH¢15 on each ticket in order to make up for extra costs incurred from the shortage crisis.

Currently, the product is transported into the country by road from Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and Nigeria, the Ghana Web reported.

Nigerian aviation experts said the situation usually occurred from time to time, adding that Nigeria airlines had also depended on Ghana in the past whenever there was shortage in the country.

Some travellers, who arrived in Ghana from the sub-region, realised that their luggage had been left behind when they got to the Kotoka International Airport, the report stated.
